David Dvir, that is a nice fencing image. Was it captured with a camera and lens after they had fallen 23 feet? (See<a rel="nofollow" href="../casual-conversations-forum/00XogB">http://www.photo.net/casual-conversations-forum/00XogB</a>)<br /> I wonder what camera, lens, and lighting you used. Was there just one flash from behind the athlete?</p>

<p>Haha, Shun. Yes in fact it was captured using a D3s and a 24-70 after our big drop. <br /> Nikon D3s<br /> Nikon 24-70 2.8 @34mm (focus 11 feet)<br /> ISO 100<br /> f/3.2<br /> S: 1/100 (although really doesn't matter)<br /> Profoto 8a air, 2 heads, key on the right behind our athelete, fill 2/3 of a stop less power, twice the distance in front of her and a little closer to the camera then she was.<br /> The lights were at pretty low power so I believe the flash duration is something like 1/10,000s :)<br /> Let me know if I forgot anything.</p>

<p>So dropping a camera 23" greatly improves the images it captures. That is good to know. :-) We'll continue that discussion next week.</p>
